Preston MMA fighter Corey Fry returns to ring at OKTAGON 61

A MMA fighter who trains in Preston is preparing to return to the ring at OKTAGON 61.

Corey Fry will take on Vladimir Lengal in Brno, Czech Republic in front of a sold-out crowd.

Fry, who competes for Europe’s premier MMA promotion, OKTAGON MMA, is due to return to the cage on 21 September.

Corey will return to the ring this September in Czech Republic.

Legal, who has a boxing background, made the move to MMA and has since become one of the OKTAGON stars, with a record of 6-3 and fighting some of Europe’s best talent.

When the fight was announced, Fry said: “I’m going to take his teeth, take his fans, and take over the entire show.”

Fry won his promotional debut with a first-round armbar submission victory against undefeated German Denis Ilbay, in Cologne. He earned a £5,000 performance of the night bonus.

His next fight ended in defeat against German prospect, Max Holzer at OKTAGON 52 in Newcastle, which took Fry’s record to 5-2.

Corey trains at the North West Fight Academy in Preston.
